Ashley's Hiking Chronicles - Rock of Ages

I probably sound like a broken record these days with my constant hiking posts, but we've been SPOILED with decent weather this spring in the PNW and we are taking FULL advantage of it.

This weekend's hike was Rock of Ages. After looking at pictures we thought it looked like fun.

Fun: Yes
Hard: Hell yea

This was a difficult hike. You gain 3,000 feet in under 3 miles. That's slightly over 1,000 ft/mile. If you don't know what that means, it means steep.

Super duper steep.

Unfortunately we didn't get too terribly many photos of the super steep parts. We were too busy holding onto tree roots and clinging to the mountain for dear life. Here's the information from OregonHikers.org.
